“We have strong indicators that Michigan is beginning to recover economically, and we know it is because of substantial reforms that were implemented last year. But as the governor pointed out, there is a lot of work yet to be done. I look forward to working with him and my legislative colleagues as we continue to rebuild our state.”

In addition to attending tonight’s address in the House of Representatives, Pavlov escorted the members of the Michigan Supreme Court onto the House floor before the governor gave his remarks.

The senator’s guests for the evening were St. Clair County Administrator Bill Kaufmann and Port Huron Township Supervisor Bob Lewandowski.
